At 67 I finally feel safe lifting weights; the joint-friendly progressions gave me real strength back without any aches.

Мне 61, и после выхода на пенсию я заметила, что мышцы заметно слабеют, а суставы стали капризными. Записалась на этот курс с опаской, но всё оказалось продумано именно под наш возраст. Особенно понравилось, что упражнения с гантелями начинаются с очень лёгких весов и подробно объясняется, как беречь колени и плечи. Через полтора месяца я снова легко поднимаюсь по лестнице с сумками и встаю со стула без опоры на руки. Отдельное спасибо за акцент на функциональной подвижности в быту. Рекомендую всем, кто за 55 и боится начинать.
